Ironheart’s First Clips Premiere At D23
Ever since Disney announced plans to cut back on the number of Marvel shows heading to Disney+, the Black Panther: Wakanda Forever spin-off series, Ironheart, has been kind of on the backburner. But at D23, Marvel finally debuted some new footage of Dominique Thorne reprising her role as Riri Williams in her own show.
Marvel hasn’t dropped any of the Ironheart clips online yet, but we can tell you that Riri is back at MIT, and she no longer has the same resources that she had in Wakanda Forever. Community’s Jim Rash reappears as the Dean of MIT from Captain America: Civil War, and it seems like Riri may be expelled from the school.
More than anything else, Riri wants to rebuild her Ironheart armor. That’s where Anthony Ramos’ Parker Robbins comes in. Parker may not be The Hood yet, but he’s leading Riri down a dark path as they steal what she needs for the suit. The early look at her new armor seems more handmade than the suit she built in Wakanda. Riri also seems to realize that what she’s doing is wrong, but she still does it anyway.
